Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1211: Abundant Rewards

Xiaoqing, Cang, and Li Mingyao returned to the family. Everyone looked over immediately, eager to know what had happened in the Heavenly Court.

“The matter of the Heavenly Court is over…”

Xiaoqing briefly recounted and said with some relief, “Fortunately, it was Emperor Ziwei who won the Heavenly Emperor’s position. If any of the other Emperors had taken the position, Cang and I would have had a tough time ahead.”

Li Chengsheng, Li Chengshuo, and Li Mingyao are all Heavenly Sealed Gods, not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, but the two of them have yet to gain the Heavenly Sealed Divine Position.

“We still can’t let our guard down. If they intend to retaliate, they will definitely come after the two of us,” Cang warned, “and the family too might become a target of their anger.”

After all, the relations between the Sun God, Moon God, and the Li family were no longer a secret. A little effort in investigation could reveal everything.

“Hmm, your concerns aren’t unwarranted. Instruct the clan to act cautiously in the coming days.” Li Zhirui nodded and advised.

“Got it!” Li Guangjie quickly responded.

“Now that the matter of the Heavenly Court is settled and won’t involve the family, there’s no need to be excessively anxious. Let’s get back to our usual tasks.”

Fortunately, the news hadn’t spread, avoiding panic among the clan, which would have been harder to control.

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

…

Meanwhile, the struggle among the six great Emperor Venerables of the Heavenly Court to vie for the Heavenly Emperor’s position was transmitted to various major forces.

In the Heavenly Court, there were many deities like Xiaoqing and Cang, who maintained close ties with their original factions.

However, they were not as efficient as Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, so the news spread a bit slower. It was only after the blockade was lifted that the news got out.

The forces distant from the Li family had little reaction to the Sun and Moon God’s opposition to Emperor Rongming, just assuming the two would later be highly esteemed, potentially uplifting their statuses.

But the Cave Abyss Sect, bordering the Li family, expressed much sentiment.

“Not just those two Star Lords, the Li family has quite a few members on the Divine Path. Once Emperor Ziwei leads the Heavenly Court, with favor extended even to unrelated parties, the Li clan’s deities may be significantly used.”

“If the Li family were to switch to the Divine Path now, it wouldn’t be long before they’d become an Earth Immortal force!”

“Previously, the Heavenly Emperor’s brother stepped in during the Li family’s crisis, possibly having aligned back then.”

There was inevitably a hint of envy in the words. The Cave Abyss Sect, though powerful, could not underestimate the Heavenly Court, especially with Ziwei born from the Beidou Star System. Despite Lord Doumu not showing up for a long time, she was still respected.

And, personally, Ziwei would soon become a powerful Heavenly Immortal.

Meaning, the Beidou Star System, to which the Li family ‘aligned,’ boasted two Heavenly Immortals, matching the number publicly known in the Cave Abyss Sect!

The Cave Abyss Sect had already ceased attempts against the Li family, now finding it unnecessary.

What they didn’t know was that the Li family hadn’t aligned themselves with anyone, maintaining equal relations with the Beidou Star System and not acting as its vassal.

“Why not establish good relations with them?” an elder suggested.

“Impossible! The Li family is merely a vassal of the Beidou Star System. How can we lower ourselves to engage with them? If this gets out, won’t we be ridiculed?” came the immediate opposition from another elder.

After a debate, they decided to maintain the status quo and treat the Li family as non-existent.

——

Time passed in a flash, and the day of Ziwei’s official ascension to the Heavenly Emperor’s position, witnessed by all deities, arrived.

On this day, countless deities left their Divine Domains, flying towards the Heavenly Court.

Even the Water God lineage dominated by the Sea Clan dared not neglect such a significant event!

The Heavenly Emperor, while only an authority holder of the Heavenly Court, holds the highest divine position there, lightly restrictive over Heavenly Sealed Gods, yet immensely vital to the Divine Path.

After all, the Heavenly Court has become the most crucial part of the Divine Path today!

Moreover, nine out of ten deities dared not offend Ziwei, compelling them to pay a visit.

Besides all the deities, other beings also came for the ceremony.

Among them, the Li family, through Li Chengsheng’s and Li Chengshuo’s status, obtained three invitations.

Though only three, it is notable that the Cave Abyss Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty only received five each.

Li Zhirui didn’t attend, as he had no interest in these gatherings, and the presence of Cave Abyss Sect cultivators would expose his cultivation, which Li Zhixuan also wished to avoid.

Ultimately, Da Qing brought Li Xianxun and Li Yunran along with Xiaoqing and other deities to the Heavenly Court.

“Aren’t deities supposed to require little spiritual energy? Why is the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court so dense?” Li Yunran softly asked with curiosity.

“The Heavenly Court, as the core and facade of the Divine Path, naturally must be impeccable.”

Xiaoqing casually explained, “Besides, the kind of deities you mentioned, like us with specific divine positions, is only part of us. Many deities have just a divine position, not a role, thus unable to amass merit and cultivate their power long-term and must cultivate directly.”

“Or those with lower divine positions can only get stronger through cultivation. Plus, some diligent deities not only fulfill their roles but also cultivate day and night.”

“So that’s what it is.”

Not only Li Yunran but Da Qing and Li Xianxun also heard about this specific differentiation for the first time.
